TIDBITS® MAKES A VISIT TO WIMBLEDON by Kathy Wolfe

Since Wimbledon is just around the corner, Tidbits is investigating the particulars on this famous tennis tournament. • Every year beginning on the sixth Monday before the first Monday of August, the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis championship is held over 13 days in Wimbledon, a suburb of London. Wimbledon is located seven miles (11.3 km) southwest of central London. In Old English, the community’s name means “Wynnman’s hill.” • Back in 1868, the private All England Croquet Club was founded off Worple Road in Wimbledon. In 1875, lawn tennis was added to the club and the name was changed to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet club. Two years later, the lawn tennis championships were held for the first time, with Gentlemen’s Singles as the only event. About 200 spectators attended the tournament, paying one shilling to watch the finals. Spencer Gore defeated 21 other contenders to take the title. • The first players used heavy snowshoe-shaped rackets. The net was 5 feet high (1.5 m) at center. turn the page for more!

WIMBLEDON (continued): The official name of the tournament is “The Championships, Wimbledon.” It is one of the four major Grand Slam tennis tournaments, along with the Australian Open, the French Open, and the U.S. Open. Of the four, Wimbledon remains the only one that is still played on grass, while the other three are played on hard or clay surfaces. Wimbledon’s turf is composed of 100% perennial rye grass, cut to an exact height of 8 millimeters. How a ball bounces depends on the soil, not the grass. The soil must be hard and dry, so the courts are rolled and covered to keep them in top form. The lines are not marked with paint, but rather with a mixture containing titanium dioxide, of which 500 gallons (416 British gallons) are used every year. Until 1884, only gentlemen participated in the championships. That year, Ladies’ Singles and Gentlemen’s Doubles were added. Ladies’ Doubles and Mixed Doubles came along in 1913. At the beginning, only amateurs were allowed to compete, a rule that stood until 1968 when professionals competed alongside amateurs. It wasn’t until 1920 that an American won a Wimbledon title, when Bill Tilden won the Men’s Singles. That was also the first year a woman played without wearing a corset! In 1922, the tournament moved from its original location on Worple Road to its current Church Road site.

• It was a long dry spell for England in the singles events. In the men’s singles, until 2013, the host country hadn’t had a men’s winner since 1936, with Andy Murray finally breaking the losing streak. British ladies have been waiting since 1977 for another singles winner.

Summer Flea Control DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Temperatures are really warming up now, and with it, I know, will come the annual onslaught of fleas on my dog, cat and all over my house. Is there any way I can get rid of fleas for good? -- Charlotte in Columbia, Maryland DEAR CHARLOTTE: Flea infestations are incredibly annoying and tough to beat --even when you think fleas have been eradicated, they often come back. Winter temperatures often send these pests into dormancy or at least reduce their activity, but they return with a vengeance in spring and summer. A pre-emptive attack could make a big difference in this summer’s flea wars. While you may not notice adult fleas on your pets just yet, flea eggs or larvae may be present on their fur or throughout the house. Start by talking to the veterinarian about the best treatment for your pets. Many owners

swear by one-month topical treatments that are applied to the back of a dog or cat’s neck, but others are leery due to potentially serious side effects. Consider alternatives if you’re not sure. Next, treat your home for fleas -- using a carpet and upholstery treatment designed for both adult fleas and their eggs. You’ll want to tackle not just the carpet and dusty corners of the house, but the furniture and any linens, such as curtains, that aren’t frequently cleaned. Keep pets out of rooms until the treatment you’re using has been vacuumed up or washed away. Through the summer, brush your pets’ coats daily, checking for fleas. Vacuum and dust at least once per week. Send your questions or tips to ask@ pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Welcome to Goose Tips!

Last week we planted fresh herbs in our window sills. Fresh rosemary, thyme, dill, basil and cilantro will soon be in abundance and in all your favorite dishes. In walks Mom: if you know me personally, you know I come from a family full of talent. I’m the cook-Tim can fix anything-Samantha is the DIYer and Mom has the green thumb. Let the lesson begin. Armed with nothing more than a Wounded Goose pint glass, my green onion scraps and a pitcher of water, Mom has green onions growing in our windows. She put the scraps root down in a glass of water, stuck them in the window sills and to my surprise they’re growing fast. In a week we’ve got 3-4 inches of new onions. It’s handy and practical. I think we’ve got enough for the salad bar, our BBQ chip appetizer and plenty of loaded baked potatoes. She says celery, ginger, garlic and lemongrass are up next for growing from scraps. When you decide to dine out, gather around our table at the Goose. Remember every Friday is Wild Game night. Each week we’re serving a different Wild Game. Find the game calendar, our monthly specials and the whole menu at woundedgoose.com. The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t! ---Kat Brabham, owner 740-388-0565

WIMBLEDON (continued): • Czechoslovakia native Martina Navratilova made her debut at Wimbledon in 1973 at age 16. Not only had she never played on a grass court before, she had never even seen one until the week prior! In 1975, at 18, she sought political asylum in the United States and was stripped of her Czech citizenship. In 1982, she began a six-year reign as champion. Finally in 1988, German Steffi Graf beat Navratilova, and again in 1989. Martina took the title back in 1990. She holds the record for the most singles wins with nine. She is also the oldest winner, having won the mixed doubles in 2003 when she was nearly 47 years old. Martina is also the record-holder for the most Wimbledon matches played by either male or female, 326 matches. • The Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, have ten Women’s Singles titles between them, with five apiece. They also have five doubles titles. A Williams sister won the singles championship in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012. • English tennis player Tim Henman has the distinction of being the first person ever to be disqualified from Wimbledon. Henman had a little temper tantrum during one of his matches and smacked a ball away, unfortunately straight into the head of one of the teenaged ball girls, a blow that sent her to the ground. The extremely apologetic Henman later sent ﬂowers to the young lady. • What do folks take home for souvenirs from the tournament? In 2014, towels were a big item, with 16,000 Men’s Championship towels and 9,000 Women’s Championship towels sold. Spectators also like the mini-tennis ball key ring, snapping up 11,000 of these souvenirs.

Q: I have a Buddy Lee doll that I received in the late 1940s. It is still dressed in its original Lee overalls and cap. I rarely played with this doll, so although it is not mint, it is in excellent condition. I have been offered $150 for it, but thought I would check with you ﬁrst. -- Barbara, Laguna Beach, California

A: Buddy Lee dolls have molded hair, painted eyes and are jointed at the shoulder, with stiff hips and legs. They are dressed in Lee clothes. Most of the Buddy Lee dolls I have seen do not have their original clothes, so this makes the one you have especially desirable. Ones with composition heads were made during the 1920-1948 period, and the later ones with heads of hard plastic from 1949-1962. There were other variations, too. For example, Buddy Lee dressed in a Coca-Cola uniform, John Deere clothing and as a gas-station attendant also were manufactured. According to “Blue Book Dolls & Values” by Jan Foulke and published by Hobby House Press, your doll is valued in the $450 to $550 range, so my advice is explore more options before you accept the offer you have. *** Q: I have about a dozen perfume bottles that originally belong to my grandmother. Most of the

601 E. Main Street Jackson, OH 740-286-6386

bottles seem to be from the 1930s and ‘40s. How can I ﬁnd out more about them? -- Steve, Rye, New York A: One of the better organizations for collectors is the International Perfume Bottle Association. Contact is www.perfumebottles.org, and 732-4922003. There are several excellent references. One of my favorites is “The Wonderful World of Collecting Perfume Bottles: Identification & Value Guide” by Jane Flanagan and published by Collector Books. *** Q: I have a large-size book of Norman Rockwell illustrations, suitable for framing. How much are they worth, and how can I ﬁnd a buyer? -- Eva, Olney, Illinois A: Your question is impossible for me to answer. You did not provide me with the edition and publisher. Without that information, I cannot establish a value. Most Norman Rockwell collections I’ve seen have generally sold in the $25 to $75 range, again, depending on condition, edition and publisher. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor does he do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail.

* It was Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, who made the following sage observation: “The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.” * Many people make provisions in their wills for their pets; it’s the compassionate thing to do. Singer Dusty Springfield went a bit further than most, though; she specified that her cat was to be fed only imported baby food. * For a nation based on a foundation of democracy, the U.S. certainly has a lot of states (that were originally colonies, of course) named for British royalty. The state of Virginia, for instance, was named for Queen Elizabeth I, known as the “Virgin Queen”; and Georgia was named in honor of King George II. King Charles II got both North and South Carolina, while the Duke of York and Albany -- later King James II -- was honored when the state of New York was named. Even France got in on the action: When explorer Robert de la Salle claimed a large chunk of territory for France in 1682, he named it Louisiana, after King Louis XIV. * Sissy Spacek was originally considered for the role of Princess Leia in the iconic 1977 film “Star Wars,” but she turned it down, paving the way for Carrie Fisher to play Luke Skywalker’s twin. Interestingly, the year before, Carrie Fisher had been offered the title role in the horror flick “Carrie”; when she declined, Sissy Spacek stepped in. * If you’re planning a trip to California this summer, you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it’s illegal for a woman to drive while wearing a housecoat. *** Thought for the Day: “Hell is paved with good Samaritans.” -- William M. Holden (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Wimbledon is steeped in tradition, including the eating of strawberries and cream by spectators. This past year, 61,730 lbs. (28,000 kg) of berries were consumed along with 7,400 quarts (7,000 liters) of cream during the 13-day period. Tradition also includes a strict dress code for players, which requires they dress “almost entirely in white.” It does not allow off-white or cream, and if a stripe of color is on a shirt or shorts, it can be no wider than one centimeter. No ﬂuorescent colors are allowed on clothing or headwear, and it is preferred that all shorts and skirts are totally white. The rules even apply to shoes. In 2014, Roger Federer was required to change his shoes because they had bright orange soles. Even the great Navratilova was told that her skirt was against the rules because it had a pale blue stripe. Between 1988 and 1990, tennis great Andre Agassi refused to compete at Wimbledon, protesting the dress code.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: NILS BOHLIN Although the name of Nils Ivar Bohlin is unfamiliar to most, nearly everyone uses his invention every single day. Take a few minutes to learn about the inventor of the seat belt! • At age 19, Nils Bohlin already had a diploma in mechanical engineering from a Swedish university. At 22, he was hired by the aircraft maker, Saab, in their design department. Focusing on various safety features for airplanes, he received one patent for his invention of the rocket-launched ejection seat for Saab fighter airplanes and another for a “device to protect an occupant against bodily injury during emergency escape from an aircraft.” • In 1958, at age 38, Bohlin was considered an expert in aeronautical safety engineering. He was recruited by Volvo and joined the company that year. The head of Volvo had lost a relative in a car accident and gave Bohlin the mission of developing an improved seat belt. Safety belts had been an option in some automobiles since the mid-1940s, but were just a strap across the waist that frequently caused serious internal abdominal injuries and head injuries in accidents when the wearer was thrown forward.

Puzzle Answer on Page 8

• Bohlin set to work designing a device that would restrain the body safely under extreme conditions. In his words, “I realized both the upper and lower body must be held securely in place with one strap across the chest and one across the hips,” along with “an immovable anchorage point for the buckle…” He also knew he wanted it to be put on easily with one hand.

• Less than a year after signing on with Volvo, Bohlin had come up with a three-point lap and shoulder seatbelt, introducing the invention to Volvo in 1959. The company added the seatbelt to its cars, with the Amazon and PV544 as the first cars in the world to have safety belts as a standard feature. Volvo graciously made the new design available to other manufacturers for free. • Bohlin proved the effectiveness of his seat belt in a study of 28,000 accidents in Sweden, showing that “unbelted occupants sustained fatal injuries throughout the whole speed scale, whereas none of the belted occupants was fatally injured at accident speeds below 60 mph.” As a result, by 1968, it was a requirement on all new American vehicles. • In 1969, Bohlin became the head of Central Research and Development for Volvo. His innovations for the company weren’t finished yet – he went on to invent the Side Impact Protection System for Volvo, receiving a patent for “side-collision protection in automotive vehicles.” Bohlin died on the same day he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. • Bohlin’s three-point seat belt is regarded as one of the eight “most important patents to have benefited humanity from 1885 to 1985.” The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the belt reduces the risk of death in car accidents by at least 45%, and that about 11,000 lives are saved each year in the U.S. alone. At the time of Bohlin’s death in 2002, Volvo estimated that the seat belt had saved more than one million lives.

• Billie Jean King competed at Wimbledon for the first time in 1961 at age 17. That year and the next, King and her Ladies’ Doubles partner were the champions. It wasn’t until 1966 that King took the Ladies’ Singles title. She has won a record 20 titles at Wimbledon – six singles, 10 Ladies’ Doubles, and four Mixed Doubles – over the years from 1961 through 1974. She competed there 22 times in 23 years. • Andre Agassi’s career prize money amounts to more than $31 million. Turning professional at 16, Agassi had endorsement earnings of $25 million a year during the height of his career in the 1990s. This 1992 Men’s Singles winner at Wimbledon is the last American male to win the French Open (1999) and the Australian Open (2003). In his early 20s, Agassi dated singer Barbra Streisand, who was 28 years his senior. After a two-yearmarriage to actress Brooke Shields, Agassi married fellow Wimbledon winner Steffi Graf in 2001. • German-born Graf accumulated nearly $22 million in prize money over the course of her career. Having played her first professional tournament at age 13, Graf went on to win seven Ladies Singles’ titles at Wimbledon, along with six French Open wins, five U.S. Open titles, and another four singles wins at the Australian Open. • Roger Federer has captured seven men’s singles titles, in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2012. But he’s not alone with that record. Maryland-born Pete Sampras won seven out of eight years from 1993 through 2000. Between 1881 and 1889, William Renshaw won the tournament seven times.

For Advertising Call (740) 441-7633 TENNIS GREATS (continued): • For five consecutive years from 1976 through 1980, Swedish-born Bjorn Borg was the Men’s Singles champion. Borg was the first player to earn more than one million dollars in prize money in a single season. When he retired abruptly at age 26 in 1983, he owned a penthouse in Monte Carlo, a Long Island mansion, and an island off the Swedish coast. Yet in 2006, the tennis great was nearly bankrupt due to poor business ventures. Borg decided to auction off his five Wimbledon trophies and two of his rackets. The trophies were expected to bring between $350,000 and $525,000 and the rackets, about $25,000 each. Borg’s former rival John McEnroe talked Borg out of the decision, but unfortunately, Borg had already handed them over to the auction house and had to buy them back. • John McEnroe was well known for his outbursts and temper tantrums on the courts, and was even booed by the crowds for his poor behavior. He was fined and suspended for shouting objections at umpires’ calls during his matches, and once slammed his racket into a courtside juice cart after calling the umpire a jerk. Yet this “bad boy” was a #1 player who took the Men’s Singles title in 1981, 1983, and 1984. • Three-time Wimbledon Ladies’ Singles champ Chris Evert still holds the record for the career winning percentage on clay courts of 94.55%. She is also remembered for her romance with fellow Wimbledon champ, sixtime winner Jimmy Connors. The couple was engaged in 1974 when Chris was 19, and they played mixed doubles on the court now and then, but the pair called it quits before the wedding day arrived.

By Keith Roach, M. D, Limiting Sugar Is No-Brainer DEAR DR. ROACH: Medical advice is to reduce sugar consumption. Does this apply to 100 percent fruit juices, fresh fruit, sweetened cereal products or other fruit-sweetened products? -- R.B. ANSWER: I think it makes sense to limit sugar intake, as most North Americans take in remarkably large quantities of sugar. This week, while giving a lecture at the medical school, I noticed that the carbonated sodas served contained 45 grams of added sugar per can. That’s more than the American Heart Association recommends in a day (no more than 25 grams of added sugar per day for women, 40 grams a day for men)! Be careful of products that claim to be sweetened by fruit juice or fruit sugar; this still counts as added sugar. I do make an exception for fruits, as the body processes natural sugars from fruit differently. You can try this out at home by eating four mediumsize oranges or drinking its equivalent in an 8-ounce (250 ml) glass of orange juice. I think you will find a big difference in how full you feel. Although reducing sugar is critical for diabetics and is very important for anyone trying to lose weight, even for people with no sugar or weight problems, the evidence is accumulating that eating too much added sugar increases future risk for heart disease and diabetes. Diabetes has become epidemic in North America. The booklet on it provides insight on its diagnosis and treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 402, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have statin myopathy. I am in pure agony. I am taking muscle relaxants and pain relievers. The muscles all over my body ache. I have had pain for two months. Do you have any advice or remedies? -- B.A. ANSWER: Statin drugs are used to reduce risk for people with an increased chance for heart attack, depending on cholesterol levels, blood pressure, family history and other risk factors for coronary heart disease. As many as 9 percent of people treated with statins have muscle aches, which can be severe. The treatment is stopping the statin. After stopping, the average time for symptoms to get better is two months. Only 7 percent have symptoms after six months. Coenzyme Q-10 has shown promise as a treatment for statin myopathy, in the dose of 200 mg a day, once daily or divided. It doesn’t work for everybody. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently I was told that the “new way” to take blood pressure readings was to hold your arm against your chest and over your heart. I have not seen this on the Web anywhere. Is this true? -- W.S. ANSWER: It’s not so new: We have long known that the arm should be at the same height as the heart. The arm also should be supported. Otherwise, the readings will be slightly (or not so slightly) off. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

You can purchase smaller size pans that can be reused. -- JoAnn * “I have a tip about taking medicine. Regardless of the size of the pill, I always feel as if it is stuck in my throat. I have started to have a chunk of banana after taking a pill. I don’t get that stuck feeling anymore.” -- T.B. in New Hampshire * “The sticky residue from price tags can be really annoying.

Paint Plus Hardware

Shopping for salmon at your local fish market or grocery store can be a real-life geography lesson for your kids, so be sure to take them along. Alaska, Maine, Chile, Norway -- the places of origin read like a world atlas as you check out the signs and labels. Spin a globe when you get home and discover together where your dinner was swimming. Besides sharpening geography skills, this goodfor-you fish -- rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals -- is also super easy to prepare. All this makes a family hungry! Here’s our favorite recipe, made with a sweet honey glaze that young sous chefs can stir up. Top with chopped nuts or herbs from your garden, and roast in a hot oven while the table is being set, napkins are slipped into rings and beverages are poured.

511 Burdette St. Point Pleasant, WV 25550

304-675-4084 Open Mon. thru Fri. 8 to 6 Sat. 8 to 4

HONEY GLAZED SALMON FILLETS 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons honey Salt, to taste 4 tablespoons chopped pecans OR 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh rosemary and 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme 2 lemons, cut into wedges or thin slices 1. Preheat oven to 425 F. 2. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray 3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared sheet. Sprinkle with salt. 4. Pour olive oil and honey into a small bowl, and stir to combine well. Spoon the mixture generously over fillets. Press nuts on top or sprinkle with herbs. 5. Bake in oven until completely cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, or until fish ﬂakes readily with tip of a fork. Use spatula to transfer to dinner plates. 6. Serve hot over salad greens that have been tossed with a light vinaigrette and topped with thin lemon slices, or set a lemon wedge to the side. Serves 4. TIP: As summer approaches, serve with fresh grilled peaches for a tasty, sweet, modern side. To prepare, cut two almost-ripe peaches in half. Let kids remove the pits and brush the cut sides with the honey-olive-oil mixture before coating the salmon. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray, and place halves cut-side down on medium heat on your stove for 5 to 7 minutes, or until grill marks appear. Flip over to rounded side for an additional minute. Set on dinner plates with salmon and salad. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Ultimate Grilled Pizza Recipe Quick-rise yeast gets mixed right in with the flour and salt and needs no proofing. Grilling pizza gives it a smoky flavor not unlike that from a wood-burning oven. If you like, grill onions, peppers and sausages and let guests personalize their own pizzas. 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 package quick-rise yeast 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup hot water (120 F to 130 F) 2 teaspoons olive oil 2 tablespoons olive oil 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese 12 fresh basil leaves 2 small ripe tomatoes Salt and coarsely ground black pepper 1. Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. 2. In large bowl, combine flour, yeast and salt. Stir in hot water and 2 teaspoons oil until blended and dough comes away from side of bowl. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. 3. Shape dough into two 10-inch rounds or four 6-inch rounds (do not form rims). Cover with greased plastic wrap; let rest 15 minutes. 4. Place dough rounds on hot grill rack over medium heat and grill until underside of dough turns golden and grill marks appear, 2 to 5 minutes. With tongs, turn rounds over. 5. Brush lightly with some remaining oil. Top with mozzarella, then basil and tomato slices. Grill until cheese begins to melt, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Makes 12 appetizer servings. TIP: No time to make your own dough? Frozen bread dough from the supermarket or pizza dough purchased from your local pizza parlor is a great stand-in for homemade dough. Follow the thawing directions on the package if using frozen dough.

So you’ve bought an RV and you’re ready to take to the open road in 3 mpg increments. Due to the RV’s sheer size and the amount of money invested in it, you’re going to have a lot of questions and concerns your first couple of times out. That’s why most people recommend you do a “dry run” in your driveway or local RV park. Here, are some more suggestions. You need help This should be self-evident. Most people never have problems with their RV, but when you consider what can go wrong with a car or truck, or a vacation home or boat, and combine them into one vehicle, you’ll learn soon enough that stuff happens. And when it does you’ll need special RV insurance, and that insurance should come with roadside assistance or else you’ll have to pay for RV-specific roadside help -- even if you have roadside assistance for your cars. It also helps to have another set of eyes on board (and no, your dog or cat does not count). You’ll need someone to help you back in and out of tight situations and to remind you of all the things you forgot to do before taking off. Make a checklist Like any good pilot, you need a checklist of things to do before taking off and landing at your site. There are apps for this and lists on the Internet, and they come in handy when you have about 20 things to shut off, like your water heater and pumps. Also, you don’t want to forget to lower your TV antenna before leaving the campsite, as they make terrible tree pruners. Have a plan Wanderlust can be a great thing, but you have to understand that you can no longer drive and/or park where you are used to driving and parking. You need to research RV-specific routes that take into account things like your propane tank and the size of your vehicle. You don’t want to drive 20 miles down a dirt road in, say, West Virginia only to encounter a small bridge intended for 19th-century mule traffic, with no space to turn around. Also, you might want to check up on the site you plan on visiting. Good Sam is a RV resource online that offers trip planning and Frommer-like RV-park ratings. Learn to love Walmart ... and baskets One of the few places that will welcome an RV with open arms is Walmart, where you can park without hassle (something you cannot do in most municipalities) and stock up on supplies, as they have a whole row dedicated to RVs. Also they sell baskets, lots of them, which you’ll need to put everything in because, remember, your house on wheels moves and things definitely will have shifted during the ride. Also, if you just got done camping, you are one of those people dressed weird in Walmart ... just saying. Relax (or don’t do it) Take the slow road, and stop and see the world’s largest ball of twine, have a sandwich at the beach and see the sights with your family and friends. Sure, it gets a little Outward Bound at times, but in the end, the memories are what you’re really buying.

Better Health in 15 Minutes Now this is one piece of research I can really get behind: Exercising less than the recommended 30 minutes a day still has benefits. Until now, 30 minutes a day (or 150 minutes a week) of moderate exercise has been the gold standard. It was shown to reduce the average risk of death by 30 percent. However, new research has shown that the recommended level of exercise didn’t consider the needs and health of seniors -- more than 60 percent of whom weren’t up to doing that much exercise (and were therefore likely to be discouraged from trying at all). A French study monitored the health and activity levels of seniors over the age of 65 for 13 years. The results were as follows: Those who did the 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (for example, brisk walking) had a 57 percent lower risk of death. That’s significantly more than the 30 percent previously calculated for that level of exercise. The big news, however, for those of us who aren’t fans of exercise, is that 15 minutes a day, five days a week, is a good target for seniors. That can include swimming, riding a bike, brisk walking, dancing, pingpong, badminton -- anything that gets you moving for 15 minutes. Granted, that 15 minutes a day (or 75 minutes per week) only gets you a 22 percent lower risk for mortality, but it’s a start. My theory: Once we start with that 15 minutes, we’re likely to increase it a little at a time. Bump that up a few minutes per day, and we can raise that to a 51 percent lower risk.

VA Playing Loose With the Facts

A year after we lost Eric Shinseki, probably the best Department of Veterans Affairs secretary we’ve ever had, what’s been accomplished at the VA? Answers: Not much. House Speaker John Boehner recently had scathing remarks for the VA. He said, for example, that only one employee involved in the nationwide hidden wait list scandal has been let go. Boehner had to backtrack and rethink that. He conceded that some retired with benefits, got transfers or took paid leave, so, strictly speaking, the number of people dumped is higher than one. Compare and contrast that to the assessment of our new VA secretary, Robert McDonald, former president and CEO of the consumer products company Procter & Gamble. He says

that over 900 employees have been fired, 60 specifically in relation to the wait list scandal. Real numbers were more like 75 people investigated and eight fired. He later claimed he misspoke. Boehner says that Congress gave the VA more than $16 billion (that’s with a “B”) to fix the problems of long waits for appointments by opening new clinics, starting up the new Choice program and hiring more medical staff. McDonald said that wait times were down by 18 percent. The reality: The number of veterans waiting more than 90 days for an appointment at VA clinics has doubled. Sad to say, the new VA secretary has some problems. It doesn’t help that he told a homeless veteran that he had been in “special forces.” McDonald and VA public relations had to jump in later and say that, no, McDonald wasn’t ever in the special operations forces. He finished Ranger training and left the Army. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
